The Starling Lab brings together a wide array of disciplines to meet the technical and ethical challenges of establishing trust in the most sensitive digital records of our human history. Co-founded by the USC Shoah Foundation and Stanford University’s Department of Electrical Engineering, Starling Lab’s programs catalyze innovation and education in cryptographic methods and decentralized web protocols to advance human rights. With a bias to responsible action, The Lab’s prototypes will lead by example to show a bright path to deploy technology and methods that make the decentralized internet a viable platform for social impact.
